After a reinstallation of WSUS on a ConfigMgr 2007 server the MP was not working anymore.

I looked in the mpcontrol.log and should see that the MP was not working. I could see no "Call to HttpSendRequestSync succeeded for port 80 with status code 200, text: OK" lines. Those lines will be there if the MP is working as it should.I could see in the mpsetup.log that it was trying to install the MP again and again but it kept failing.

In the MPMSI.logfile I found the following line:“Product: SMS Management Point -- Error 25006. Setup was unable to create the Internet virtual directory CCM_Incoming”

After googling the problem I found the solution here.The Bits service had to be reinstalled. After doing that the MP installed successfully

When installing a ConfigMgr 2007 secondary site I have seen several times that it keeps showing "Install Pending" in the ConfigMgr console.

There are several problems that can lead to this. I will try to mention the problems here and how I have solved them.

Solution

The secondary sit server is not added to the SMS_SiteToSiteConnection_XXX group on the primary ConfigMgr server.

During the installation of the secondary site the installation program should add the secondary site server to the local group SMS_SiteToSiteConnection_XXX (where XXX is the site code of the primary server) on the primary site server.

Add the secondary site server to the group SMS_SiteToSiteConnection_XXX.
